我的解答思路和尝试过的方法

尝试过将if注销掉,他还是会跳转页面。

我想要达到的结果

使用正则表达式匹配用户名合不合法;‘’

    <script type="javascript" src="../../static/script/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
    $("#sub_btn").click(function () {//绑定注册按钮
        var usernameText=$("#username").val();
        var usernamePath=/^\w{5,12}$/;
        if (!usernamePath.test(usernameText)) {
            $("span.errorMsg").text("用户名不合法")
            return false;
        }
        
        $("span.errorMsg").text("")    ;
    })
        })
    </script>

<form action="" οnsubmit="return func()">
<script>
function func(){
    if (){
        //判断
        return false;
    }
}
</script>

form表单里的submit按钮会有默认提交,得清除默认事件

$("#sub_btn").click(function (e){
e.preventDefault()
} 

在form标签加上onsubmit = "return false">
